No 2 taxpayers are alike, or would have similar circumstances, so the representation fee and cost samples are just examples.
Here is a sample of representation, resolution fees, cost:
Individual 1040 IRS audit for 2016, schedule A deductions: the fee would be $2,000-$4,000 depending on the complexity.
Individual 1040 IRS audit for 2016, schedule A deductions, Schedule C sole proprietor business, the fee, cost would be from $3,000-$5,000 depending on the complexity.
Business 1120 corporate IRS audit for 2016: the fee, cost starts at $5,000, depending on the complexity.
Back Tax Settlements: PPIAs, partial pay installment agreement, IAs, installment agreement, OIC, offer in compromise sample:
Individual taxpayer with 3 years of $40k in back taxes, the cost fee is generally around $3,000, larger resolution cases with higher amounts due usually involve an IRS revenue officer, these usually cost higher and start at $5,000 for most cases.
Business taxpayer with $40k employment 941 payroll back taxes, revenue officer assigned, or in queue, the fee, cost usually starts at $5,000 for full resolution, more complex cases cost more but the peace of mind relief is priceless.
Hiring the right resolution firm is so important, that’s how you minimize the cost of representation. My recent client, EM, is a former tax lawyer himself, he retained my firm after he did his research, due diligence and found that we were the best fit to resolve his large 7 figure balance with the IRS that involved SFRs, proposed balances, revenue officer and other issues.
